I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making scrapbook pages. I've been stamping for over 13 years and just had my 12 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Dublin, Powell, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule...I'm adding new classes all the time!

We have a beautiful color challenge for you this week on Create with Connie and Mary! I've actually used this color combination a lot during the holidays and it is especially perfect for New Year's!

I love the single stamp, Happy New Year, that Stampin' Up! came out with before the holidays! I don't do a lot of New Year's card, but I have had occasions once in a while. I'll be keeping this stamp in my supply, just because I think it is very unique!

Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 of Whisper White cardstock, folded in half to make the card.

I layered on 4 x 5 1/4 Pool Party that I embossed with the Lacy Brocade folder.

I added a 2 1/2 x 4 strip of Silver Glimmer Paper down the center.

I stamped the Happy New Year image with Versamark on Whisper White and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. Then I colored in the numbers with Pool Party marker.

I cut out the image with the Apothecary Accents and used the Essentials Piercing Template around the edges.

Finally, I added a bow of Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon adhered with Mini Glue Dots.

I love how elegant it looks! Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this special color challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary.

Hi, I'm a little confused? T he letters look darker than silver embossing, did I miss something? I love the card and want to make it. I'm also interested in joining a challenge, how do I go about doing that, do I need to be in your downline? I'm a fairly new demonstrator(almost a year) and would like to branch out. Thanks, Sheila

Very pretty! I love the embossing and the different shapes. These colors were fun to play with too.
Happy New Year!
